Hazel refuses to process file Mon Dec 31, 2018 9:57 pm • by dolfs
Had some files in a directory being processed by Hazel. They did not seem to get processed, so I checked using preview. The rule in question is shows as "Matches" and the rule has an action that moves the file elsewhere. Alas, the file(s) do not get moved.

Inspection of the log reveals stuff like this:
Code: Select all

Inspection of the file(s) in the "eye" view shows the following error message for each file:
Code: Select all
*** -[__NSSetM addObject:]: object cannot be nil

It is completely unclear to me what is happening here. The files are plain files, there are no symlinks or aliases involved. The files in question, obviously, exist, as I can select them for Preview in the rules for the folder they are in.

Can you search for that error message in the log and send me an excerpt around that part?
